Mail function, different behaviour under windows

[PhilippeDJ]

When I try this under windows :

mail("User <[e-mail]>",$subject, "", $headers);

I get this error :

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 Syntax error,
parameters in command "RCPT TO:<User <[e-mail]>>" unrecognized
or missing in

It seems to add it's own <> characters !!??

If I run the same script under Linux it works fine !?

Try this
mail('[e-mail]','$subject','','$headers');

That works, but I want to add the name, looks much nicer !

Add it in ur Header.
$to="User";
$headers .= "To:$to\n";

Try it out.

Tried that to, but then I get an error saying the to comes before the data field.
